While the material is perfectly safe for single use, it's not designed for repeated reuse, says Kellogg Schwab, an environmental microbiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: "Your mouth leaves a film that harbors bacteria, and the bottle's narrow mouth makes it hard to clean...
...Roberts—along with W. Carl Kester, deputy dean for academic affairs at HBS—is co-chair of the executive education program, which is now in its fourth year at Harvard.
